Do a search on here. I vaguely remember seeing something about some HID kits not being compatible. That's all I remember. BRB...I'll see if I can find it.

Edit - I might have been thinking about the door problem :

I had to reverse the wiring on my BMW before the lights would work. Good luck. There is a one way plug that you need to file or cut a tab off in order to make it work. - Colin
